1st: 98 Honda Accord sedan - lowered with Trust full catback...sucker was loud! someone rear ended me and totaled the car.
2nd: 96 Acura Integra LS 5speed- lowered with black wheels & a sick system. First manual car...had so many memories and fun about this car. I made a bad turn and wrecked it.
3rd: 99 Honda Accord V6 coupe- lowered, retros, had gold rims. Still have the car now but couldn't stand driving automatic everyday.
4th: My 05 G35 coupe 6MT! Completely stock except changing all the bulbs to LEDs & 6000k Low beams and of course clear corners. I have a OEM front lip laying around.

1st car: 1993 Nissan SE-V6 pickup (black) - Good truck to use for all of high school and part of college. Only problem was a radiator leak, which probably led me to get rid of the truck. It was a nice hauler for moving occasions or just hauling friends around school for fun 
2nd car: 1996 Lexus ES300 Coach Edition (black/black) - Although it was a hand-me-down by my folks, I loved this car a lot. Friends from college often called it the "pimp mobile" and sometimes freaked out when I would park the car along an unsafe street on campus in the middle of the Boston winter, but I didn't really give the Lexus as much special treatment as it may believe to be deserved. Back then I thought to myself, "it's just a car for pete's sake" lol, but then again I wasn't too car-saavy as I am now
(For those who are curious, the Coach Edition of the ES300 includes the following features: black pearl emblems, Coach Edition badges on the fenders, perforated leather seating with Coach brand embossed, and 2 Coach leather travel bags.)
3rd car: 2001 Lexus ES300 (black/tan) - Thought it was time to upgrade in April 2003 from my previous Lexus. Kinda made the wrong move by trading in the 96 Lexus for this one (and taking a heavy financial hit at the same time) but the price was within my budget, and the 01 Lexus was a nice upgrade all around. I also started the modding game with this car by going with things like 15% tint, LEDs, HID upgrade, wood trim and debadge. I miss the interior a lot, it's as quiet as a library while out on the road and almost no wind noise at all. Unfortunately the Lexus got totaled in August 2006, and all I have left is the memories and pics (although the carfax shows it's exported to somewhere in the U.A.E.)
4th car: 2003.5 Infiniti G35 (silver/black) - No words to describe this car other than it's a beast, it's RWD and it's a great family car with plenty of mods to toy on. Bought it in Sept. 2006 from a private seller with my insurance check with 41K miles at that time, and now it's around 68K miles and still going strong
5th car: 1998 Toyota Corolla (tan/tan) - My 2nd and current car. Primarily driven by my wife, it's economical, saves gas (average 27-30 mpg) and very easy to work on. Already at 108,000 miles and should easily last over 200K, although we may think about getting rid of it for a used Matrix or Lexus RX.
